Sargeants Association President says "manif" must have consequences. The president of the National Association of Sergeants, Lima Coelho, joined the demonstration against the government and the troika on Saturday, saying he hoped that the government listen to the voice of the Portuguese.

"These things have to have consequences. This can not go lightly, without any consequence, unless the Government listen to what people are saying, "he said.

Antonio Lima Coelho participated as a "citizen," the manifestation of Lisbon, promoted by the movement "Fuck the troika" with other military and their families, stressing, however, that "this is not a ride."

"I think it's time to give voice to those who own the country. Contrary to what many people like to believe, [even] the prime minister, or the bankers, or the like, are not the bosses of this country, all of us, "criticized, told Lusa.

On the grounds of objections to the military, Lima Coelho said that dissatisfaction begins with the Government trying to "give the impression" that "the military has more people and more budget."

The movement "Fuck the troika" called for demonstrations in more than 40 cities in Portugal and abroad to seek an end to austerity policies.

With the motto "Fuck the troika, the people who are more orders," the demonstration held in dozens of cities in Portugal and some foreign coincides with the presence of the delegation of the troika (European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund) , in Lisbon, to the seventh review of the MoU.

The demonstration this afternoon attracts attention all over the world. The press highlights global membership of "teachers, pensioners, health officials, unions, politicians and feminist groups" convened by the protest movement Fuck the Troika (consisting of 120 activists, writes the Spanish newspaper "ABC") and underline the indignation of the Portuguese.

The foreign media give special weight to the recovery of "GrÃ¢ndola brown town" and the motto "The people who are more orders" and explain the role that the song had Zeca Afonso in the Revolution of 1974. "It's a slow ballad, with lyrics motivating," writes the Associated Press (AP). Is meant to be sung at the Palace Square in Lisbon at the end of the course, and 20 other Portuguese cities and six foreign: Barcelona, Madrid, Boston, London, Paris, Athens and Stockholm.

The AP notes that the "GrÃ¢ndola" has been sung whenever a minister speaks in public and even the prime minister has been targeted her in Parliament. This agency emphasizes the "creativity" of the Portuguese, whose forms of protest include asking invoices on behalf of Pedro Passos Coelho or their supporters. The American portal "The World" tells the story of Carlos Bahia, Portuguese broadcaster residing in Connecticut (USA), which has seen many community members lusodescendente asking that touch the "Sines" on his station.
